Jorge Masvidal expected to miss potential UFC 300 return, linked with boxing move: ‘I’d say he’s fighting boxing’

Amid links to a return to combat sports in a blockbuster UFC 300 feature in April, former two-time welterweight title challenger, Jorge Masvidal has been linked with a professional boxing move instead, by American Top Team teammate, Renato Moicano, who provided some details on the Miami native’s recent training regime.

Masvidal, a former two-time undisputed welterweight title challenger and inaugural symbolic BMF championship winner, called time on his storied mixed martial arts career just eight months ago at UFC 284 in his native Florida.

Suffering his fourth consecutive defeat in the form of a one-sided unanimous decision loss to Gilbert Burns, Masvidal has since switched his focus entirely to promoting his bare knuckle fighting promotion, Gamebred Fighting Championships.
